Chapter 89: Huoyun Hall
Why? This is a question that many people ask countless times in their lives, perhaps to others, perhaps to themselves. No matter how powerful a person is, he is just a human being, and there are always things he doesn't understand. Maybe it's because of these whys that there are so many things and so many entanglements. And behind these myriad whys, perhaps they will eventually converge into the same answer, or even beliefs, and guidelines.
Early the next morning, Ji Rufeng came to the restaurant where Wuxin was, he really came, it seemed that he was still thinking about the gold silk armor in Wuxin's hand, hoping that the real buyer would be able to see it when he appeared. But maybe he will never see the appearance of the golden silk armor, even if the buyer who is destined to say in his mouth does appear.
Wuxin was still a little surprised by Ji Rufeng's arrival, he originally thought that Ji Rufeng was just polite to him, but he didn't expect him to really come, and suddenly he felt a little sorry in his heart, and regretted the acquaintance with Ji Rufeng, they were people who lived in two worlds, and they should have been strangers.
The two of them sat in the private seat on the second floor, chatting without a word, intermittently, but they were thinking about their own thoughts, and the scene was slightly embarrassing. Both of them were expecting the real buyer to show up as soon as possible, make a settlement, and let the two people who should not have been sitting at the same table continue to part ways.
But time has passed a little bit, and it has passed noon in a blink of an eye, and no one has appeared, but the embarrassed two people have been a little unable to sit still, especially Ji Rufeng, who is sitting on the chair, he seems a little restless. During this period, his subordinates came in a few times, claiming that Master Ji ordered Ji Rufeng to return to the house for discussion, but they were all pushed by Ji Rufeng, with a posture of wanting to leave and not wanting to leave, and wanting to stay or not.
"If Ji Gongzi has something to do in the house, he can go first, and he doesn't have to accompany him all the time. Wuxin glanced at Ji Rufeng and said lightly. For Ji Rufeng's enthusiasm, Wuxin seemed very helpless, hoping that he would leave, but he couldn't tell him too clearly, otherwise it would disrupt his plan.
But Ji Rufeng shook his head and said slowly: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's not too late to accompany my brother to wait for the buyer to return home." It seems that he is still determined to stay, no matter what he says.
Wuxin nodded lightly and didn't say anything more, since Ji Rufeng was so insistent, it was not good for him to forcibly drive him away. called the restaurant's junior two, and asked the restaurant to prepare a few simple side dishes, and then fill the stomach first. The meal ended hastily in embarrassment and tastelessness, and then fell silent again.
I don't know how long it took, but there was finally a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and someone was coming. After a while, I saw a group of people wearing black-on-black and red-edged coats walking up, with two big red characters written on the left and right sides of the placket on their chests, "fire" and "cloud" respectively.
The group went straight past Ji Rufeng, walked in front of Wuxin, looked at Wuxin, and then looked at the package on the table in front of him, the package containing the gold silk armor.
When Ji Rufeng saw this group of people, he finally couldn't sit still, as if frightened, he quickly stood up and stepped aside, with a trace of uneasiness on his face, looking unintentional, and stopped talking. It seems that the origin of this group of people is not small, otherwise Ji Rufeng would not be so in awe.
"I heard that you have a piece of gold silk armor to shoot?" The big man led by him looked at Wuxin and asked coldly. Although he spoke, his eyes never took off the package on the table.
"That's right. Wuxin lowered his head, shook the tea that was still half left in the cup, and said lightly.
Dahan sneered, and said slowly: "But as far as I know, the golden silk armor is in the hands of Jiangcheng Murong Tang, how can it appear in Xuanzhou, isn't it someone who stole it while people are unprepared?"
"If you really want to buy it, why bother with its origin?" Wuxin said lightly, not wanting to explain anything.
Dahan nodded and said slowly: "Yes, but I want to inspect the goods a priori." ”
"No, I can't. Pay first" Wuxin shook his head and refused Dahan's request.
Dahan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, it has been paid when you see the goods, where is the reason why you haven't seen the direct payment when you have the goods?" There was a trace of unhappiness on his face, obviously unacceptable to the unintentional unreasonable demand.
"I don't care about others, but this is my rule, put the money here, you take the things directly, no money, you can leave. Wuxin said lightly, still insisting.
When Dahan heard Wuxin's words, he couldn't help laughing, but the smile was ugly, and then he said coldly: "The three words of Huoyuntang alone are more than a few million taels, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of taels of yours." ”
Wuxin still shook his head, as if he didn't change his mind because the other party said the three words "Huoyuntang", looked up at the big man, and just said lightly: "You can't be the master, then change someone who is the master." "Looking at the way this person and the others behind him are dressed, it can be deduced that this person is not the protagonist, at best he is just a small boss who can talk.
When the big man heard this, his face became even more ugly, and he said coldly: "What if I have to see it?" After speaking, he didn't wait for a casual conversation, and had already reached out to grab the package on the table.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wuxin's mouth, seeing that Dahan's hand was about to touch the package, Wuxin's hand holding the teacup suddenly blocked outward and hit Dahan's arm, only to see that Dahan seemed to be pushed hard, one stood unsteadily, kicked back three steps, and Wuxin still sat there quietly as if he hadn't moved, and even the only half cup of tea in the teacup didn't spill a drop.
The big man looked at Wuxin, who seemed to be motionless, in horror, and forcibly endured the tingling sensation on his arm, unable to believe his eyes. When did he, who was used to being arrogant on weekdays, suffer such humiliation, he pushed away a few companions who were supporting him, gritted his teeth, pulled out the knife in his hand, and strode towards Wuxin, and at the same time slashed the knife in his hand towards Wuxin's shoulder.
When Ji Rufeng saw this scene, he saw sweat on his forehead, but he didn't expect the situation to develop to this point, and he couldn't help but sweat for Wuxin. But the next scene completely stunned his eyes, and made him finally understand that Wuxin is not so simple.
Just when the big man's knife was about to slash Wuxin's shoulder, Wuxin suddenly moved again!
I saw that the hand holding the teacup suddenly rose like lightning, and the remaining half of the cup of tea poured out, and pounced on the big man's cheek, before the big man could find a way to avoid the tea, the unintentional hand had already met the hand of the big man holding the knife, the middle finger was bent, and with a slight flick, it bounced on the wrist of the big man holding the knife!
Then he saw that Dahan's arm was shocked, and the knife had been taken out of his hand, and before he could react, he had unintentionally struck Dahan's chest with a palm, and then Dahan flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and he was about to crash into the crowd.
But this is not the end, I saw that the knife that the big man got rid of had not yet fallen, and he had already patted the end of the handle like lightning, only to see that the knife followed the big man and shot towards the big man quickly.
Originally, the group of people brought by the big man wanted to catch the body of the big man flying backwards, but in a blink of an eye, they saw the knife coming closely, which frightened everyone and dodged to both sides. Immediately after that, there was a "tom", and I saw the big man hit the wall behind him fiercely, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the knife in the hand of the original big man was thrust into the wall with a "poof", and the blade was only less than two inches from the top of the big man's head that was limp on the ground! If the big man had not fallen, or sat on a higher level, then he would have been a dead man by now, and he had been killed by his own knife.
At this time, not only the big man was shocked, but all the people present were stunned, no one could see Wuxin's action just now, it almost happened between lightning and fire, what kind of person could make so many actions in such a short time, I couldn't imagine it.
"I won't kill you, but go back and tell your master, and I'll go to him soon." Wuxin said lightly, without looking at Dahan again, he had already shown mercy to his subordinates. Slowly picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea. From beginning to end, he never left his chair.
The big man looked at the death-like heartlessness in front of him with dull eyes, as if he had forgotten the sharp pain in his chest, his lips trembled, and he stammered: "Quick, help... Help me... Get up..."There is no longer the condescending at the beginning, the corners of his trembling mouth are dripping with blood, and the palm just now almost shattered his internal organs.
The remaining people from Huoyuntang helped the big man up in a panic, and hurriedly rushed downstairs, as if it was a great sin to stay here for an extra second, they had not met anyone who dared to oppose Huoyuntang for a long time, and they had almost forgotten what it was like to be afraid.
Ji Rufeng watched the people of Huoyun Hall flee in a panic, looked at the knife that was still stuck in the wall, and then looked at Wuxin, who had reacquainted with him, and was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. Suddenly he felt that his retreat just now seemed so unbearable and disgusting in Wuxin's eyes, and he hated his cowardice a little.
But that can't be changed, in Xuanzhou City, no one dares to go against Huoyun Hall, otherwise the end will be ten times worse than the big man just now, more than a hundred times. Although he was unwilling, he had nothing to do. Seeing that Wuxin had taught those people in Huoyun Hall who were usually high-spirited, he suddenly felt very happy in his heart.
"What is Huoyun Hall?" Wuxin said lightly, he was asking Ji Rufeng. He didn't care about Ji Rufeng's retreat just now, or he didn't pay attention to it at all, because no matter how others chose, it was someone else's freedom, and he had no right to interfere, not to mention that he and Ji Rufeng just met in Pingshui and didn't have any friendship, and he never pinned his safety on others.
Hearing that Wuxin was asking himself, Ji Rufeng came to his senses and hurriedly said: "It's a snake in Xuanzhou City, a snake that no one dares to provoke, anyone who dares to go against them, even their wives and children, are long gone in this world." There was a deep resentment and hatred in his eyes, but the more he did this, the more powerless he became.
Unintentionally raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, got up and walked downstairs, he thought that he had found the person he was looking for on this trip, he wanted to see who the other party was, whether it was the person of Red Feather.
Looking at Wuxin's powerful and indifferent back, Ji Rufeng was a little out of breath, and even felt that he was not as good as an ant in front of Wuxin, just a maggot that was barely breathing and stealing. He hated the weakness he had just had, the way he was, how he wanted to be as strong as Wuxin, strong enough to ignore everyone.
"I'm sorry......" Ji Rufeng suddenly said this inexplicably, there was even a trace of tears in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth tightly, hoping that he would forget his retreat just now, not to ignore himself, and not even bother to look at himself.
Hearing Ji Rufeng's words, he unintentionally stopped, stunned for a moment, he could probably understand what Ji Rufeng's "I'm sorry" meant, and he also knew what Ji Rufeng was looking forward to.
In fact, he doesn't care as much as Ji Rufeng himself, for Wuxin, although Ji Rufeng has a good family background and is a talent, he is just an ordinary person who can't be ordinary anymore, and everyone will be afraid, let alone facing Huoyuntang, which is dominating Xuanzhou City.
He could hear the hatred in Ji Rufeng's heart, but he seemed pale and powerless no matter what, after all, for an ordinary person, the rivers and lakes are too big, and the big ones can be submerged in an instant, and there is no chance of life. So he never wanted to be friends with Ji Rufeng, not that he looked down on Ji Rufeng, but felt that choosing himself was equivalent to choosing to face the entire rivers and lakes, which was really difficult for Ji Rufeng, and it was too cruel, they were destined to be people on the two roads.
Wuxin didn't look back, just nodded slightly, and didn't know if Ji Rufeng saw it, and then raised his feet and continued to move forward, without stopping any longer, but Ji Rufeng's voice came from behind him again.
"Beware of the hall master of the Fire Cloud Hall, a man with an axe. ”......
